Burglary.
Last Sunday morning at 1 o’¬
clock the home of Mrs. Cook, near
the Institute building was burglar¬
ized. Miss Pearl Cook was awak¬
ened by a noise in the room. The
lamp was burning dimly and as
she roused up she discovered a ne¬
gro man in the room. She scream¬
ed and the negro hastily retired
through the window. Several
gentlemen were soon at the home
and tracked the negro some dis¬
tance in the rear of the home but
were unable to capture him.
; Later in the morning Miss Cook
discovered a hat in the room that
j was left by the nogro and the
l name of Plenry King was inscribed
on the inside of it. The officers
went to King’s home and piaced
him under arrest. He was unable
to account for his hat and was
rorced to go to jail, wearing a silk
hat of doubtiful style.
The commitment trial was held
Monday morning and the evidence
was very strong against King. He
was returned to jail on his
failure to make a $500.00 bond.
King was born and raised in
Conyers; has always borne a good
reputation and had ho not left his
hat behind would, perhaps, have
not been su-pected. He secured a
silver dollar from the home, which
was taken from his pocket at the
time of his arrest
Notice.
All who are interested are re¬
quested to come to the Almand
grave-yard on the morning of
Wednecday, Sept. 4, for the pur¬
pose of cleaning off the burying
ground. Bring suitable tools tc
do the work. Remember your
dead.
